Forum Problems

[ColinM9991]

So every now and again this forum stops working, I never see notifications about it or anything.
Right now, this thread isn't working. "http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?104827-Editing-Expanding-and-Modifying-Domination"
It was also removed from the Sticky section no more than 10 minutes ago.

What the hell is causing this, and why does it happen to every second or third thread?

whats your net browser ???

[ColinM9991]

Google Chrome

--Edit--

God, browser problems. I guess it's time to switch back to firefox.

What exactly do you mean by "forum stops working" / "thread isn't working"? Do you see a 404 not found error, does the page simply turn up blank, does the browser get stuck on loading the page or what?

[ColinM9991]

It was giving me no result, as in the webpage doesn't exist.
Turns out it was a problem with Google Chrome.

I have been having the same problems as well and I use IE 9. It seems to be working at this moment however this is the second time I have posted this same message because I lost the page last time I tried submitting this. My connection is fine. I have no problems with any other site or online games. Bis' main site comes up without issue as well. It is just the forums where there seems to be issues. I have also searched the net and found many others with different browsers expieriencing this same problem. I have sent a email to cutomer support. The forums seem to be working good right now. If the issue arises again and I am able to I will report it here. As well as reply with any helpfull information from customer support. Also, the message that I was getting was the same as you would get when your enet is not connected. Thank you all for your time.

Just wanted to give an update. I have had no issues since my original post above.

So the problems have begun again. It has taken some time but I have made it back in to give a report of the problem. I also tried installing and using google chrome which resulted in the same problems. Again, I have no problems with any other site or online games. Just Bistudio forums. If anyone has any solution they have found or advice I will try to get back in later to check it out. It is almost acting like the server is just overcrowded or something. Not sure. It is deffinately odd to say the least. Thank you all for your time. I am still waiting on a second response from customer service. The first from them was a request of a screen shot of the message I get when it is not connecting which I have sent to them. It is the one that says:

Inetnet Explorer cannot display the webpage

On my PC at home IE9 also has problems. The first 2 or 3 pages load fine, then images stop loading but i still get text, but a couple of pages later nothing will load and if i keep on trying even other webpages wont load anymore. Looking at taskmanagers reveals dozens of iexplore.exe processes, most of them doing nothing(since i dont have that many tabs open). However on my laptop with IE9 everything works fine.
When i had problems loading the forum i also tried Opera and FF which at that point also refused to load this site, however i havent tested those browsers without ruining everything with IE9 first.

Oddest thing ive seen in a while, especially since its fine on my laptop, and only this place seems to cause it.
